When you do arm curls (for the biceps) what is the max weight you use for each dumbell in each hand and how many reps you do ?

max 50lbs., 6-8 reps. bulking phase.
max25-35lbs., 10=-12 reps. lean phase. -
Jul 24, 2009 3:11 AM GMT50lb for 3 sets of about 8 to 10 but I generally don't do bicep curls anymore -
Jul 24, 2009 3:33 AM GMTi think the 50s are the heaviest i've ever used but i havent used dumbells in years for simple curls. maybe concentration curls or curls on a preacher bench. for simple curls i prefer the bar -
Jul 24, 2009 3:49 AM GMTBiceps tendonitis. I max out with 30's these days, but I manage to do 21's for both regular double curls and hammers.

Jul 24, 2009 5:23 AM GMT50 max. but i generally do 35's and concentrate on better form and more reps -
Jul 24, 2009 5:24 AM GMTMuchmore, I know what I'm getting my boyfriend now... lol.
I keep it fairly light. 25x12 for three sets of preacher curls. I don't do standing bicep curls. -
Jul 24, 2009 6:48 AM GMT45 4x10 or until failure or until form is compromised -
Jul 24, 2009 7:01 AM GMT30-35 lbs 12, 12, 10, 10,8 (usually the first arm workout so warmup included) -
Jul 24, 2009 7:02 AM GMTCrap I'm weak. I've gotten up to 40s but nowadays it's more like 30s are the upper end. -
Jul 24, 2009 7:05 AM GMTI can do 50lbs but only on low reps about 5-6 for 4 sets.
I wouldn't worry about how much you can curl but the results you get from your curls. -
Jul 24, 2009 10:03 AM GMTI have gone as high as 60. But the idea isn't necessarily to max out. Instead, you want to use strict form to tax the muscle.
If you do DB curls properly, you can get a burn with 30's. You might also try pairing curls with triceps exercises like pushdowns. One set of each and then rest. Repeat three times.
Something else I have tried occasionally is to "run the rack." That means curling with heaviest DB you can for 6-8 reps and then, without stopping, grabbing the next lightest weight and working on down until you can't lift anything else. This is not recommended on a regular basis but perhaps once every six weeks to stimulate muscle growth.
